If you do good, people might accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Do good anyway, as Christ did.
If you are successful, you can win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway, as Christ did.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway, as Christ did.
Honesty and frankness can make you vulnerable. Be honest anyway, as Christ was.
The biggest people with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest people with the smallest ideas. Think big anyway, as Christ did.
People favor underdogs but follow top dogs. Fight for the underdogs anyway, as Christ did.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway, as Christ did.
People who need help may attack you if you help them. Help them anyway, as Christ did.
Give the world the best you have and you may get kicked in the teeth, or even crucified. Give your best anyway, as Christ did.
-- Based on the Paradoxical Commandments by Kent M. Keith, adapted by Rev. David T. Wilkinson
